Poster Utilities for Inkscape

Overview

Creates the structural furniture of an academic poster — header band with title, authors, affiliations, logos — from a dialog, so you start from a correct skeleton instead of aligning rectangles for an hour.

Why it exists

The first hour of poster-making is pure layout carpentry; this automates it.

How to install

  1. Open the GitHub repository and follow the README — installation is the standard Inkscape route: copy the extension files into your Inkscape extensions folder.
  2. Restart Inkscape; the extension appears under Extensions in the menu.
  3. Check the README for dependencies (Python packages, API keys, or external binaries where applicable).
When NOT to use this Templates encode one aesthetic — departments with strict poster templates should check compliance first.
